Iraqi Army Kills over 30 ISIL Terrorists in Anbar

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iraqi army made a big push against the ISIL Takfiri group in the Western Anbar province, leaving more than 30 terrorists dead.

The army soldiers stormed the hideouts of the militants in the area of Jazera Baghdadi and claimed the lives of dozens of the ISIL militants including two top commanders.

The crisis in Iraq escalated after the ISIL militants took control of Mosul in a lightning advance on June 10, which was followed by the fall of Tikrit, located 140 kilometers (87 miles) Northwest of the capital, Baghdad.

Soldiers of the Iraqi army and Peshmarga have been engaged in heavy fighting with the militants on different fronts and have so far been able to push them back in several areas.
